EternalRocks: WannaCry's Successor Uses 7 NSA Exploits
The worm was detected a few days ago by researchers who are studying the WannaCry attack. And so far some information about this worm can be found, which are starting to set off alarms.
What do we know about EternalRocks?
Altogether the EternalRocks worm uses 6 tools or NSA exploits. These are the following tools: EternalBlue, EternalChampion, EternalRomance, EternalSynergy, SMBTouch, ArchiTouch. There is also a seventh, which is DoublePulsar. The last one is an exploit that allows the worm to spread through other computers that are vulnerable.
Find out more about the dangers of WannaCry
Keep in mind that WannaCry has managed to infect 300, 000 computers around the world with apparent ease. And only using the EternalBlue exploit. So EternalRocks using these 7 exploits gives you plenty of cause for concern. At the moment, there is no malware attached to the worm, which reduces the danger. The problem is that it would not be surprising that there will be a malware soon.
This will undoubtedly be a problem, because it has the ability to expand with great ease. At the moment it is recommended to have our system completely updated and to be sure that we can patch all the vulnerabilities of the NSA. Also, very important, configure the computer so that it does not make connections through the Tor network, through which the worm spreads.
